Fall For My Ex's Mafia Dad
my father asks, his voice friendly and kind, pleased at the prospect of being able to do something for me, for his grandchild.
“I wondered,” I say, turning my head and looking up at him like he’s my saving grace, “if you could…teach him? Just a little bit? His father – Mr. Lippert,” I say, laughing inwardly at my use of the name, “didn’t teach Daniel very much about the ways of…business.”
I heavily emphasize the last word of my sentence, making it impossible for my father to not hear “business” as “mafia.”
My father lifts his chin and hums, arching a brow as if he thinks Kent a great fool.
